He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Chapter 272 Let's Forget It

Siyi scoffed inwardly at how someone dared to enter another person's house so brazenly. Too lazy to say another word, she simply slammed the door shut without a word.

What gives him the right to act so self-righteously?

Siyi, her face cold, was about to turn and leave when a loud knocking sounded at the door.

Bang bang bang!

It was clear how hard the people outside were banging; she stood there, momentarily caught in a dilemma.

What exactly does he want to do?

Jiang Yan knocked quite forcefully, and her act of turning him away made him feel worse than a stray cat. Besides, he hadn't sped all the way from City A in the middle of the night to guard the door; of course he had to find a way in!

After a long while, the door was finally opened again.

This time he was smarter. As soon as the door opened, he reached in and pushed it through the gap in the security bars. "Do you think I'm some kind of monster? You just slammed the door shut without saying a word. How can you do that?"

Siyi's patience had been worn down by him. If it weren't for the fact that it was so late at night and she didn't want to disturb the neighbors, she wouldn't have bothered with this man at all.

She frowned, her tone even harsher than his, "This is my home. Do I need a reason not to welcome you in? Leave, or I'll call the police. If they bring your CEO Jiang to the police station, I'm afraid it will damage your reputation."

The harsh words did not deter Jiang Yanhui. Instead, he laughed easily, his peach blossom eyes seeming to be imbued with an indescribable charm and a wicked air. "Fine, you've wanted to sue me for a long time anyway, go ahead and sue. It'll be good for Beibei and Tiantian to know that I am their biological father."

He really wanted to tell the whole world that he had two children, his and Ye Siyi's children. If it weren't for this stubborn woman, why would he need to be so secretive? They were clearly his children, yet he made them call him "uncle," which sounded so strange!

Siyi was speechless with anger. The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat, and her face turned red. "Despicable!"

"Me, despicable?" Jiang Yan sneered. "Fine, fine. If it makes you willingly stay with me, I don't mind being a little despicable."

"Jiang Yan, have you had enough? I don't have the energy to play with you late at night."

"Then open the door and let me in, Sisi. I'm not leaving today unless you open the door."

Siyi bit her lip, gripping the doorframe tightly with one hand. An impulse surged within her, urging her to slam the door shut, but a sliver of reason held her back. She knew Jiang Yan Hui; what wouldn't he do? Perhaps things would truly escalate into a major scandal.

But if she really let him in in the middle of the night, wouldn't that be like inviting a wolf into the house?

She lowered her eyes, frozen at the door for a moment. Jiang Yan noticed that she didn't slam the door shut like before, and unconsciously narrowed her eyes, deciding to use both soft and hard tactics. "Sisi, I respect you, so I won't tell our children about my relationship with them, but shouldn't you respect me too?"

Siyi frowned at him and retorted without giving him any face, "I don't think we need any respect between us."

Jiang Yan was met with a cold shoulder, but she still forged ahead despite the obstacles. "Even if you're angry, you can't take away the time I spend with the children, can you? Sisi, that's not fair."

These words ultimately struck a nerve with Siyi.

She admits that she can be selfish at times, but she also knows where her problem lies. She can hate this man, she can refuse to have any more contact with him, but ultimately she cannot deprive her children of the time they spend with him.

There was no reason for her to persist any longer, and if it came to cheating, how could she possibly be a match for this man?

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Yan reluctantly opened the security door. Raising an eyebrow, she stepped into the entryway with obvious satisfaction.

This was his first time visiting her place. Before coming from City A, he had his assistant investigate her current address. Overall, the place was quite nice, with excellent security. Jiang Yan knew that money wasn't a problem for this woman; she had a good job with a decent income, so making a living was definitely not an issue.

He took off his coat and went straight to the living room, scanning the layout of the entire room. Not bad, very suitable for home. It has to be said that Ye Siyi has a very unique taste.

“I don’t have any extra rooms for you to sleep in, so you can leave after you’ve looked after the kids.” Siyi followed behind him, then pointed to the children’s room and said, “They’re already asleep, so it’s best not to wake them.”

"Are you in such a hurry for me to leave?" Jiang Yan was speechless. She hadn't answered his calls or sent any messages. He had dropped everything late at night to come all the way from City A, and she, on the contrary, wouldn't let him in. When he finally got in, he wasn't even allowed a sip of water before she shooed him away like an annoying fly. His male pride was hurt, and his expression naturally turned sour. "Don't you have any conscience? Do you expect me to see the two children for a second before heading straight to the hotel?"

Siyi turned her face away, trying not to let the man in front of her affect her mood, and said casually, "Mr. Jiang, are you worried about not having a place to stay? My place is too small to accommodate someone as important as you."

Jiang Yan was so angry that her face turned green. What was wrong with this person?

Last night, he felt that she wasn't so resistant to him anymore. Although he had indeed coaxed and tricked her into bed at first, he could clearly feel that she had relaxed a lot, and in the end, she couldn't help but cooperate with him. He was so happy then, thinking that this woman had started to accept him again. But wasn't it only a whole day? How did she turn back into the cold and aloof Ye Siyi?

"Did something happen?" He was still cautious after all, squinting at Siyi's profile, and asked, "Are you unhappy? Are you angry?"

Siyi felt a pang of panic, as if someone had seen through her secrets—secrets she wanted to keep hidden tightly, secrets that no one could possibly know, let alone Jiang Yanhui.

She instinctively lowered her eyes, refusing to look him in the eye. "Nothing of the sort. My feelings are none of your business. Just leave after you've finished with the child!"

Jiang Yan felt increasingly uneasy. Something was definitely wrong with her; no wonder she was so rude today. He pursed his lips, stepped forward, and placed his hands on her shoulders. "Sisi, lift your head and look at me!"

Siyi struggled, so Jiang Yan simply grabbed her slender waist and pinched her chin, forcing her to look up and meet his gaze. "Don't you dare look at me? Baby, what do you look like? It's like you're running away. Tell me, what made you get angry at me again, hmm?"

Siyi's eyes flickered, a torrent of emotions churning within her. She wasn't good at hiding her feelings; her dark eyes had already betrayed her, yet she stubbornly refused to admit it. "Jiang Yanhui, don't go too far! I don't know what you're talking about. Let me go!"

"I won't let go!" He moved closer to her face, determined not to let her move. "What are you being stubborn about? What did I do to upset you? You need to give me a reason so I can know where I went wrong?"

"You...you are utterly shameless!"

Siyi gritted her teeth in anger, "I'm not angry, but do you expect me to give you a pleasant look? Jiang Yanhui, don't push your luck. I let you in to look after the child, not to force you in like this. If you continue like this, I really won't be polite!"

"When have you ever been polite to me?" Jiang Yan smiled gently, his thumb lingering on her chin, the warmth of his fingertips filled with affection. His gaze was deep, his eyes instantly becoming exceptionally sincere as he slowly said, "Baby, I'm sorry about what happened five years ago. Now that I've found you again, I don't intend to let you go again. Please don't do this anymore, okay? I'll give you whatever you want, and I'll believe in you. Can you give me another chance? Let me take good care of you and the child."

A lot happened today. After seeing Lin Zhenbiao off, Jiang Yan felt an emptiness in his heart. If Ye Siyi and their child didn't exist, he would feel like the most pitiful person in the world. He was now desperately trying to hold onto them.

Siyi's heart was also in turmoil. She could sense that he was sincerely apologizing, but some things still existed, and an apology couldn't erase everything. She didn't want to dwell on anything. Deep down, she knew that her resistance to him wasn't really because she was still resentful about what happened back then, but simply because she understood all too well that there were too many and too deep obstacles standing between them, obstacles they simply couldn't overcome.

This was true five years ago, and it will be true five years from now.

Can she forget her biological mother's death? Can she ignore the fact that he is now married? If love is built on such helplessness, what is the point of such love?

She knows herself too well; she won't compromise herself. Even if she were willing to, she knows she wouldn't let go of the grudges and resentments from the previous generation.

When you're young, you think love is everything, that love is everything. But five years have passed, and her two children are already five years old. She's no longer the Ye Siyi she once was. The idea of ​​eloping now seems laughable to her. What she wants is stability and security, and she wants the best of everything for her children. Jiang Yanhui, however, can't give her what she desires most.

"Jiang Yan, let's call it quits."

She finally looked him in the eye, her voice low, each word like a sharp blade, severing the last glimmer of hope in Jiang Yan Hui's heart. "I won't stop you from seeing the children, and I will keep my promises. Give me a little more time, and I will tell them you are their biological father and let them accept you. But it's impossible between us. I don't want to go back to the way things were before. Maybe you think that there were just some misunderstandings between us before, but we've both forgotten the many real problems between us—your parents' problems, my parents' problems. We've always been from two different worlds. I don't want to live a life too burdened, nor do I want to live with guilt. Even if I don't want to admit it, I know that my biological mother's death is closely related to your father, and I can't let it go."

She took a deep breath, her gaze suddenly softening, but this softening was the most cruel thing to Jiang Yan Hui. "So, let's call it quits, Jiang Yan Hui. From now on, let's live peacefully for the sake of the child, but don't bring up this topic with me again. Didn't you say you would respect me? Well then, please respect my decision now."

She could yell at him, she could throw tantrums at him, and he was willing to endure it all. But how could he bear her speaking to him so calmly?

Jiang Yan replied, "Let's call it quits."

Because I can't let go of the grudges and grievances of our previous generation, we will live together peacefully for the sake of our children...

His gaze grew colder inch by inch, but his expression remained perfectly calm, with only the deep blackness in his eyes remaining. "What do you mean by that? Are you planning to sever ties with me?"

He was furious, his thin lips pressed into a sharp line, exuding a murderous aura. "Why do you insist on deceiving yourself? You've never forgotten me. If you really want to sever ties with me, why did you keep those two children five years ago? You went through so much to give birth to them, why did you give them those names? Are you kidding me? If you have no feelings for me, then what about everything that happened last night?"
